Hi John, i’ve just discovered your channel it’s absolutely brilliant I’ve been woodworking for a number of years now but you just explain things so very well and you make it sound so easy thank you very very much it will give me something to watch when the in-laws are around over Christmas🤦♂️🤣👏
Another great bunch of jig ideas 😁👍. And great instruction. But, if there is ever a world shortage of ply.. we know where it all is... John has it all 🤣😂🤣. Thanks again for the vid 😁. Stay safe 😁👍.
A couple days ago I subscribed. Today I hit that bell icon as your videos are extremely well made and you explain things so well. I've got a load of scrap ply in my garage from when I used to work for a timber merchant. Going to making some of these and the ones from your previous jig video.
Only came across your channel yesterday and I am loving the videos. Great to find an irish lad doing dome woodworking and give me tips as I'm starting to just begin woodworking myself
All those practical and easy jigs make me want to build them right away, definitely going to making a few of those for my small shop, and like you're approach to them, I subscribed
Hi John, thanks for sharing theses ideas, I am looking at different ways to build a shooting board. Yours plus your jigs are awesome and it is going to be my way to go. Here is my question : since some people build a movable fence with a slot and screws so that it is possible to make it true again if it has been trimmed up accidentally, I was wondering if it was really necessary, you didn't do it. Otherwise I am thinking making another clamping jig to have this movable and easy to replace fence. What are your thoughts on that ? Thanks for your amazing channel, cheers mate edited : as I am new to woodworking I try to understand how things work on my own and RUclips is great for that. I might have found out why some woodworkers build an adjustable fence and why other don't, and both can work perfectly. Rob Cosman explains in detail how a shooting board works in his video "how to use a shooting board". The issue is the tear out that may occur on the back of the piece while shooting ( especially on some type of soft wood probably ). Rob doesn't have an adjustable fence either, but he is making a little chamfer on the back of the piece he is shooting. I would guess the woodworkers who build an adjustable fence, don't bother making this chamfer on the back and consider the fence as a sacrificial piece that may get hit sometimes when you have to put the edge of your piece with zero clearance to the fence in order to support as maximum the back of the piece as possible to avoid the tear out. That is only what I guess, I don't know if it is the real reason, but it is interesting to try to understand how it works and then choose the best option for you. hope it makes sense ! cheers mate, happy days !
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Caden Desmond I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi John, I'm new to your channel, glad I stumbled across it. You have a very common name in my family, my grandad was John Patrick McGrath, his father was Patrick John McGrath, I have an uncle called John McGrath and an uncle called Patrick McGrath. Common names in Liverpool. I like your video's and will watch your back video's. Thanks for sharing
Love watching your videos! But just one teeny problem ... MY workshop is a Workmate standing on the patio. My tools are all hand-held. My only power tools are a drill, a jigsaw, and a multitool (the vibrating saw thing). I would love to see you woodworking with a similar setup! (Oh yes, I have a few of those lever cramps too). Right now I'm about to start making model railway baseboards out of 6mm ply, typically 1200 x 400. Any thoughts would be really appreciated. Slarntche (Don't know how to spell the Gaelic!). Roger.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Many thanks John. I didn't really expect a reply to such an unsophisticated question! So,to push my luck ... the requirement is simply to build model railway baseboards that are basically upside down drawers. The side walls are to be 100mm deep, forming a rectangular frame on which the top sits. A typical top would be 1200x400, and there would also need to be transverse ribs, also 100mm deep, to stiffen the structure and prevent warping of the top. The whole thing to be fabricated out of 6mm ply, for lightness. I don't know if I could get away with WBP, or should use quality birch ply. (The whole layout will be roughly 8x4 in plan, which is quite a lot of ply! ). And yes, the bottom line is I can't afford machine tools or a craftsmans work bench. The aesthetics aren't important, but everything needs to be square and true. So there you have it now! Thanking you in advance, with my best wishes ... Roger.
I know this was a year ago, but it just means you are one year further on than me! I am a newbie this year. I have a converted garden table as my external bench, so I can only really work during the Summer. I do have a circular saw which is very useful, but not for any fine work. I would love to have the space for a drill mount thing, and a table saw and a band saw, but it's not going to happen any time soon! So, like you I would appreciate seeing some videos without those very useful power tools.
John, this video was fun to watch. Gave me some ideas I never thought of. Thanks for that. Also, I know you watch RUclips and was wondering if you have watched, oldave100? Dave, Eric, and Vicki Roten do a lot of amazing things with routers and resin. They live in Arizona. I think you might like their channel. Also Woodworking For Mere Mortals, WWMM, is also real good. As ever, Bill Larrabee
Hello John, your videos on jig making are fantastic and I will definitely attempt them. Can I be so bold and ask what part of Ireland you are from, because your accent is very familiar. Also, I don't really go in for Patreon but I do believe in rewarding good work that is helpful for me so can you advise your PayPal account please.? A jug for a jig seems a fair reward (hahaha). Paul.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Yes. I know I was pulling your leg. You have very useful jigs , particularly the miter camps. I am planning to make one. Thank you
John, I can tell that I would love watching your channel, but the brough has got me and the fact that you talk much quicker than my hears can hear. I am sure I am missing out on some good stuff. My favorite sites as far a woodworker are sites where there isn't much dialogue. Mostly some Japanese guys Ishitani furniture for one. He is great and not a word is spoken. Sorry but I am the looser. Just sayin RC
What I really like is that when you make a mistake you own up to it and tell us what you’ve done to fix it. Great lessons learned.
nice tools you have, like your lathe stand, fire
Thanks 👍
Doing a great job! Love your stuff here in USA Illinois! Thanks
Glad you are enjoying the content! Hello from Ireland
Very useful and practical jigs! Thanks John.
You are welcome!

I like his workshop
Love the simplicity of your work so that newbies like myself can see that woodworking is ingenuity and not too complex.
Glad you enjoy it!
Your tools and jigs will keep me happy for weeks + your router table etc cant wait to get some plywood to make some. Thanks John
glad you found it useful
Only came across your channel yesterday and I am loving the videos. Great to find an irish lad doing dome woodworking and give me tips as I'm starting to just begin woodworking myself
Good stuff welcome along
Love your videos! Full of information and interesting to watch
Thanks David, glad you are enjoying the content
Great video, cheers from Australia
Great video will be making some of these jigs especially the clamping jig for mitres.loving the channel
good stuff, glad it was useful.
An additional thing I would say looking at the box miter maybe making the hole slightly lower on yours or add an extra block on bench hook stop
Thank you for sharing !!! These jigs are super helpful and simple to make. I will be making me a shooting board for sure!! Happy Easter

Welcome aboard!
Well done again John. I find your style of instruction is easy for me to follow. Thanks for putting so much work into the videos.!
Glad it was helpful!
Good Man!
The jig are very very simple to make. The tricky bit is how to sharpen and set the plane.
Awesome video!!. Love it, looks like I'm going to use some of your ideas. Thank you 😊
Glad it was useful

Watching this with captions, is so funny 🤣
Fantastic, John! Thanks a lot! 😃
Many of those just entered my todo list! 😃

No problem
Just hearing your Irish accent makes me smile. I’ve sent many years working on the green isle, all very enjoyable. Thank you. Co..Cork?
I’m thinking somewhere in Ulster.

There is a lot you can do with those tools, I'll have a think about it and see if I can come up with a good project using them.

Hi! Really like your videos 👍Have you made a jig to make hexagons on the table saw? Kenneth, Norway
Not yet!
Great video's keep it up
Nicely built new friend
Amazing stuff John!!!
Great video and love the hair cut lol

Interesting and useful. Me likes it.
Where did you buy your belt sander?
aldi its crap
Great video John I started a RUclips video the other day only film it off my phone but hopefully some day it will be like urs
Nice one Jake I started with my phone keep at it you will be better than me.
Wicklow /Wexford ? Sorry about the Dublin comment 😄🤦
I'm a Blah no need to apologize I am un offend-able
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed My late Father was from Rathgormack 🤟 Need to get out more don't know what made me think you were from Dublin accent 😂
Hi John ,why did you sell the Kitty Saw?
I just wasn't using it
Storage, where to put all those jigs, we need 3-5-7 jigs from one build . I've have as many jigs as hand tools!
@johnmcgrathmaninshed thanks for the lesson

Haha. My family is from Mayo. Grew up pulling salmon out of the Moy before Jack Charlton got them all.
Good pod where are you coming from John so unusual to hear the Dublin accent from fellow cabinet maker in Westmeath 🤟☘️
Not a Dublin accent a bit further South.
John McGrath}}}
:-). But still well respected & appreciated, both accent & Vids, from a Chippy further North.!
(as my handle implies.):-)
24mils and 1 inch are miles apart. One mil is 1/1000 inch. But good videos
1 inch is 25mm so when I say mil it's millimetre
